K-pop girl group ifeye is beginning a new chapter in its career following a management change.

On November 2, 2026, Hi-Hat Entertainment announced that all six members had officially concluded their exclusive contracts with the agency.

The group will now continue its activities under Chorokbaem Music while retaining its existing name.

The announcement brings a change in management for Won Hwa Yeon, Taerin, Rahee, Kasia, Meu, and Sasha, who debuted as members of ifeye in 2025.

Despite the agency transition, the six members will remain together as a group, allowing fans to look forward to their future activities without a change in the lineup.

According to Hi-Hat Entertainment, the decision followed discussions between the company and the members about the direction of their careers.

Both sides mutually agreed to end their exclusive contracts, bringing their management arrangement to a close on November 1.

The announcement clarified that the contract conclusion does not mean the end of ifeye’s group activities.

Instead, the members will continue working together under a new management company.

Chorokbaem Music to Manage ifeye as Group Retains Its Name

Starting November 2, all six members will carry out their activities under Chorokbaem Music.

Hi-Hat Entertainment also confirmed that an agreement had been reached allowing the group to continue using the name ifeye.

This means the management transition will not require the group to adopt a new identity.

Fans can continue following the same six-member lineup and its activities under the familiar name.

Hi-Hat Entertainment also reassured supporters that the group’s existing official social media accounts and Plus Chat service would continue operating without changes. Updates about ifeye will still be shared through those channels.

The agency concluded its announcement by asking fans to offer their continued encouragement and support as the members begin this new phase of their careers.

The transition marks a significant change for ifeye, but the group’s decision to continue together provides continuity for its members and supporters.

With Chorokbaem Music taking over management, attention will now turn to the group’s upcoming plans and future promotional activities.
